Downloads are an easy and fast way to get your hands on some fantastic PC games. Instead of receiving a physical copy of your game in the post you download the game directly to your computer. This gives you the ability to play games almost immediately after purchase! We offer a download option for a selection of our existing PC games, in addition to a new range of download exclusive titles, giving you a great set of games to choose from.
Purchasing a download is very similar to making a purchase of any other item we sell on our website. Please follow these steps below:
Before purchase you will be able to find the system requirements on the products description page. Please make sure your computer meets these requirements before proceeding to checkout. ShopTo.net cannot be held responsible for a game not working due to your system not meeting the necessary system requirements of the game.
You will be required to have the original game already installed on your computer to install and play the expansion pack. This can sometimes not be necessary but this would be clearly advised on the products description.
Due to the very strict security checks we have in relation to the purchase of downloadable items, we would require payment through a 3-D secure credit / debit card. If you are a silver or gold member though you will have the option to pay with PayPal. Information concerning our membership scheme can be found here.
Information on how this item will be downloaded will be advised on the products description page, in system requirements.
Depending on your internet connection and the file size this time will vary.
If you are having trouble installing or running the game, please try to contact the publisher or developer. They will be able to provide technical advice and should be able to assist with a resolution. If unfortunately they are unable to help, please contact us through your account right away.
If your downloader has crashed or failed for any reason you will be able to restart the download through your ShopTo account. If you login to your account and navigate back to your orders section, you will be able to begin the download again.
A cancellation can be requested by following the below steps:
In a situation like this a cancellation cannot be issued easily. Not all publishers would allow a download to be cancelled if the serial key has already been activated. By following the steps in ‘How do I cancel my download purchase?’ we will contact the publisher for you. If the publisher will not cancel the download we unfortunately will not be able to offer a refund.
Yes, we offer this service for all customers who are registered with us. As long as your debit / credit card is 3-D secure you will be able to make an order right away.
